Hot & Bright over at Di's Digi Designs

Hello

It is time for a new challenge over at Di's Digi Designs and this fortnight the theme is

Hot and Bright

I've used the super cute Bookworm Bear which is available from Di's Digi Stamps which I coloured  with Copic pens.

I thought this image would be perfect for cards offering congratulations/well done on passing your exams.  Hopefully I will need a few of these cards for next month so I thought I would try and be organised!

Cupcake Anyone?

Hello

I think the little lady in the image is having a difficult time choosing a cupcake!  The image is an older one by LOTV, not sure if its still available.  

The image has been coloured with Copic Pens and I've added Wink of Stella to the underskirt and to the icing on the cupcakes to give a little sparkle (apologies it is not clear in the photo - I blame the bad photographer!!)

Floral Birthday

Hello

I've got a few birthday's coming up over the next few weeks and this is one of the cards that I've made for one of them.  Just in case you are wondering I'm okay blogging about it as the recipient doesn't read my blog.

  
The image is from one of the LOTV Art Pad, now sadly discontinued.  It has been teamed with papers from the Romance and Rose paper pad which have been lightly inked around the edges with Spun Sugar Distress Ink (Ranger).

Birthday Wishes

Hello

Well we are almost half way through the first month of the year and I have to say I'm not too impressed with what this new year has generated for me so far.  Let's hope things improve! 

Anyway today I'm showing you a card I've made for a colleague's birthday. 

I've used one of the images from a LOTV Art Pad.  So disappointed that LOTV have decided not to stock these art pads any more. 

I added some liquid pearls around the flower arrangement and a couple (or three) little butterflies.

Hello

It's time for a new challenge at Di's Digi Designs and the theme for the next fortnight is:

New to You

(use or show something that is "New to You" - eg. a new image, new tool, new technique/medium for you etc.)

For my DT card I've used Champagne Mice which has been coloured with Copic Pens.

The image and border die are both "new to me" and the sentiment, although purchased a few month's ago, is on its first inking.
